Can I Make This Granny Bauble If I’m New To Crochet?
Yes, you can! This pattern is a great choice for beginners. It uses just basic stitches like single crochets and double crochet clusters, and is very fast to complete. Even if you make a mistake, you can easily unravel your piece and start over again.
The only requirement is that you know how to read a crochet written pattern. Otherwise, you can follow this simple video tutorial, demonstrating how to create a similar crochet Christmas bauble ornament.
Can I Use Leftover Yarn Scraps For This Pattern?
Absolutely! It’s a fantastic “de-stash” project that will help you get rid of all those small leftover scraps from your previous works.
The pattern calls for a sport-weight yarn and a 3 mm hook to create a crochet bauble cozy that fits an ornament that has an 8” (20cm) circumference.
The designer used Scheepjes Catona yarn to create the ball covers seen in the photos.
Do I Need A Ball Insert For Granny Baubles?
Plastic ball ornament inserts will give your baubles a round shape and a polished look, but it’s not the only way you can go about it. If you don’t want ot buy additional supplies, these handmade covers are ready to give your old Christmas tree decorations a second life.
Another option is to use some tissue paper, polyfiber, or yarn scraps to stuff your baubles.
How to Crochet Easy Granny Christmas Baubles?
These vibrant crochet Christmas baubles are built from two identical panels sewn together around a plastic ball insert. Each piece needs only 6 rounds to be completed and uses simple granny stitches made of double crochet clusters.
For a fun multicolored look, be sure to change the yarn color after every round.
